Agreed... blouse it is.
There should be more of this sort of cool photos posted. The B-52 guy is no longer with us because he got it wrong. Shame about the rest of his crew.
I have a few pics to post but they're are a little incriminating. How many years have to pass before a bloke's safe???

Sorry Keg,
Have to agree with Chuck.
Beat ups ARE cool
Keep 'em low and fast boys
Oh, but don't f@ck it up!!
Cheers,
I'm gone!
(Just wish I still had the chance to do the odd one here and there, damn EGPWS!)

Moderate, Modest & Mild.
How come it was almost always the Management Pilots that did this sort of 5h!t??? And usually got caught out 
Probably because they were only allowed out of their cages once or twice a month!!
Just as freekin' well in most instances, going by the number of "abnormals" they'd incur, out in the big wide world!

I'll see if I can get some more printed out - most are on slide.
I have a couple photos of feathered engine stall-turns, in a DC-3
Please, if someone DOES have the head on shot of the Lae beat-up, or the Electra beat-up, please message me, as I would DEARLY love a print or two!

Mebbe so Chimbu et al but given I figure that 'professional' means staying within the rules- even when I don't like them and more 'fun' could be had elsewhere- I guess I'll wear the tag. May even register a new user name and if thats the worst thing I'm ever called then I'm probably doing OK!
However, it just proves again that Tony Kern was spot on. The really sad thing is that I'm not convinced he knew the vast extent as to what he was right about.

Hey I follow the rules to the nth degree at work. Doesn't mean a well executed low pass is not a thing of beauty...these days only get to do them in a sim
Having said that a spur of the moment beat up followed by stupid manouvers at low level by the untrained/inexperienced is the ultimate stupidity.
Well thought through, low, fast and gentle
Chuck.

Practicing wheels-up , dead stick landings - ya just never know when you need to use that technique (quite convincing if you have never tried it!)
Or nap of the earth in an airliner (flown by hand of course)... Or flying into old Kai Tak, NOT using the IGS/Visual Rwy 13 approach, but by coming up over the hills behind for a straight in (judicious use of EVERYTHING required!)
EDIT - forgot to mention ALL IN THE SIMULATOR!!!

I guess I am just lucky then. I get to do this sort of thing all day, most days........and within the rules and regs. 
gotta have all the training and required ratings and a lil experience to stay alive for a longer period than luck will normally allow, so dont try this at home kiddies, unless your trained to do it proper.
the pics looked better before I resized them, but hey, they still alright.

210s a tad inefficiant at stock mustering though. the sheep tend to wear out fairly quickly on hot days and the cocky winges about the fuel being used.

Chimbu, most impressed that you picked the airfield. Perhaps a memorable thing of a bygone era but agree that best performed by managerial types. Lets not encourage all to "have a go."
All the best.

Wiz dis-regard ya PMs..... got some cockpit views to offer but your account won't accept emails so I found a temp website. Agree on the 210 for mustering but we used them for different purposes.
A 'friend' gave me this pic. Keg you won't like it, close your eyes...!

It is not funny or cool (although the guy who took this pic said
it seemed like it at the time).

Going back to PNG for a minute, how many people remember Capt. Larry "Shag" Blackman's 'exploits' at Honiara??? That's something NO ONE forgets!
Does anybody else remember the New Year party at Rabaul (71 or 72) at the home of a TAA F/O? I certainly don't remember much, except for a Captain falling 16ft off the balcony to the driveway, getting up, shaking his head, and coming back for more? Some of those present flew the next day - one Lae Captain and Rabaul F/O I am SURE don't remember how they got to Honiara!
And does anyone else remember going to the mess at Lae, turing the fan on, and being covered in talcum powder? Damn Dave!
